 |
|
It looks like sys-kernel/xen-source has been removed from portage or this just renamed to zen/sources ?
Can I just use gentoo-sources?
I want to run my own kernel on an EC2 machine using their pv option.
Any pointers?
It mentions the following need to be applied in the kernel config but I don't see the top 2 in the current linux-3.7.10-gentoo I'm running locally?
CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT_00002_AND_LATER=y
CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT=0x030002
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y

I think this should do actually.
| Code: | Processor type and features --->
[*] Paravirtualized guest support --->
[*] Xen guest support |

I'm going to marked this solved as I believe this option will do the trick if needed at all?
I have not had chance to test same theory as I don't at the moment have the time to build another Gentoo based EC2 instance from scratch.
How and ever from what I have seen from all recent AMI images available on EC2 they are all using the ParaVirtual approach which seems to be the way forward, DomU boot loaded from the hypervisor/PV and (DomU) being a "physical" kernel on the EC2 instance.
Seems a more mature approach, instances now act more like a physical machine and there is less dependance on the maintained kernels and local depmod of same. |
